Britain's oldest long-distance footpath, the Pennine Way, runs along most of the Pennine Chain and is 268 miles (429 km) long. Various etymologies have been proposed treating ""Pennine"" as though it were a native Brittonic/Modern Welsh name related to ""pen-"" (""head"") . In fact, it did not become a common name until the 18th century and almost certainly derives from modern comparisons with the Apennine Mountains, which run down the middle of Italy in a similar fashion.
